One of the highlights? A fascinating conference on the economy of functionality, where Amaury de Foresta, founding president of TREE Consulting, spoke alongside Mario Rousseau (Intellinox Technologies) and Kevin Pochon (Qu\u00e9bec International).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rethinking our business models: selling differently<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, innovation is not just about technology, but also about the way we design our business models. The economy of functionality encourages companies not just to sell a product, but to value use and performance. An approach that not only reduces waste, but also optimizes resources and improves customer satisfaction.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The discussions provided answers to several key questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you build a virtuous business model when the primary objective is sales? The idea is to move from a logic of possession to a logic of service, by rethinking the value chain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you involve internal and external stakeholders in this transformation? Who do you need to convince first &#8211; managers, employees, investors, customers? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are the concrete benefits of a sustainable model, and how can we measure its profitability? ROI is not limited to financial aspects; it also encompasses environmental and societal impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An event in line with TREE Consulting&#8217;s values<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This conference resonated particularly with TREE Consulting&#8217;s mission: to support companies in their transformation by integrating more responsible and innovative models. Mario Rousseau&#8217;s presentation was particularly striking for its concrete aspect, offering direct testimony to the challenges and opportunities associated with these new strategies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Many thanks to all participants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 170 registrants and a wide range of players (startups, SMEs, incubators, public bodies, financial backers such as Desjardins Capital and Evol), the discussions were rich and stimulating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many thanks to Qu\u00e9bec International for organizing this event, and to all the participants! We leave with new perspectives and a stronger motivation to help companies innovate sustainably. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Have you ever considered integrating the functionality economy into your business strategy?
